In the sky, dark clouds obscured the moon.

In an instant, the heavens and the earth were plunged into darkness.

The lights on the Qingchun Gate were bright, and at this moment, Wang Ming had already led people to the city tower.

Looking down from the city tower, the ethereal spirit held Geng Rui hostage, standing outside the suspension bridge.

If it was someone else, he would have given an order a long time ago, no matter how much he could let the two bandit sects be so rampant?

Tonight, the whole city of Hangzhou is in a mess, and I don't know what those imperial historians will say about it.

Thinking of this, Wang Ming's face couldn't help but show a touch of murderous intent.

At this moment, an entourage beside him quietly leaned over and whispered, "Dusi, these two people are still within range. If ten thousand arrows are fired, they will not be able to run. ”

Wang Ming waved his hand and said, "Geng Rui's life is at stake. ”

The one who spoke was Zhou Xiangrui, the commander of the capital of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

He is at the same level as Geng Rui, but he has always looked at Geng Rui unpleasantly.

Because Geng Rui was just over thirty years old, he was promoted to the position of commander and Tongzhi, which made him feel indignant.

After all, the commander is from the second grade, and he can be said to be a very good minister.

Zhou Xiangrui climbed to this position, it was after several lives and deaths, and he made great achievements.

Seeing that Wang Ming and the others have survived these two years, and if they are promoted again, it is very likely that they will be transferred to the capital and serve in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies.

And he was naturally able to take another step forward and reach the position of the commander.

However, Geng Rui's sudden arrival disrupted his entire plan.

Geng Rui married the county lord of Jiangdu and became a relative of the emperor, and the county lord of Jiangdu was Zhu Biao's daughter.

Who is Zhu Biao? When the crown prince.

If Zhu Biao succeeds to the throne in the future, Geng Rui will be the master of the horse, and what is even worse is that Geng Rui is the eldest son of the Marquis of Changxing.

At present, almost all the power of the imperial court army is controlled by this group of meritorious ministers, although after Hu Weiyong's case, a few were killed.

However, the current imperial court is still the world of this group of meritorious workers.

Seeing that Geng Rui has such a huge background, after Wang Ming was transferred, he has accumulated some military exploits in recent years, and it is very likely that he will serve as the commander of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

When the time comes, he can only watch Geng Rui become his boss, how can he be willing?

Hearing that Wang Ming was so scruptuous, Geng Rui was even more indignant.

Originally, it looked like this was a good time to get rid of Geng Rui, but as a result, Zhang Mu went to replace Geng Rui back, and it was all in vain.

"......." Zhou Xiangrui was just about to speak.

Wang Ming glared at him and said, "Lord Zhou, just watch the play." ”

Zhou Xiangrui could only sigh lightly.

At this time, Zhang Mu had already left the city. Less than fifty meters from the ethereal.

Behind him was only one person, and Stern was leading two horses in his hands.

Han Yuyan's delicate body trembled, and she pulled Zhang Mu's sleeve tightly.

Seeing Zhang Mu, Ethereal sneered: "Master Zhang, you really have some guts. The poor monk admired. ”

"Without further ado, I'm here, and she's here. You let them go, and I'll go." Two lives for one life, you should be satisfied. Zhang Mu drank.

"No, you come first." Fang Rui shouted.

Zhang Mu became angry when he heard this, pointed at Fang Rui and said angrily: "You are also a fucking son and daughter of the rivers and lakes, Lao Tzu has no power to restrain the chicken, are you still afraid that Lao Tzu will kill you?" You release them first. ”

Zhang Mu deliberately delayed the time and waited for Huang Qianhu to arrive.

"Dog officer, we can't trust you." Fang Rui drank.

Zhang Mu sneered: "Okay, then let's consume it, wait left and right until dawn, and even if Lao Tzu wants to release you, you will die." ”

When Zhang Mu and the ethereal stalemate kung fu, Zhou Xiangrui gave the people behind him a look.

He couldn't mention this matter again, otherwise Wang Ming would think he was selfish.

His subordinates walked behind Wang Ming and said, "Wang Dusi, this Zhang Mu is a Jinyi guard, looking at the situation just now, it seems that he is not involved with the demon girl of the Ming Sect. Who knows if tonight's action was deliberately let out by him. Otherwise, with the arrest of more than 2,000 people, on an isolated island like Xiaoyingzhou, how could these two bandit leaders capture Lord Geng? ”

When Wang Ming heard this, he didn't say anything, but there was already a hint of suspicion on his face, after all, he also saw the situation of Zhang Mu and the demon girl just now.

At this time, another confidant of Zhou Xiangrui said: "My lord, how many brothers has Jinyiwei harmed in the past few years? If Zhang Mu succeeds, Jinyiwei will make another contribution. If they make a comeback, I'm afraid it will be very bad. ”

As a feudal official, Wang Ming naturally knows a little about things in the court.

Jin Yiwei is like a steel knife, hanging above everyone's head, Jin Yiwei has indeed fallen to the bottom over the years, and has paid a heavy price. These are the results of those meritorious struggles in the imperial court.

The brocade guard, who was already dead, suddenly appeared, which made Wang Ming feel a little uneasy.

"Lord Dusi, this Zhang Mu has been hiding in Hangzhou unknowingly, who knows what he has in his hands?"

Wang Ming couldn't help but be surprised, and there was a strong killing intent in his eyes.

"What do you think?" Wang Ming asked.

Zhou Xiangrui said: "Du Si, if you want to go down to the officials, it is better to take advantage of the time when they exchange hostages, watch Geng Rui get out of danger, let's not do it, and we will not stop." If the court investigates it, it will be said that Zhang Mu colluded with bandits, anyway, everyone saw the situation just now. ”

Wang Ming looked at Zhou Xiangrui at the moment and said, "You mean ......." ”

"That's right, this not only killed these two bandits, but also got rid of Zhang Mu. Master Geng came back safely. Why not kill three birds with one stone? Zhou Xiangrui said.

"Don't hesitate. How much did it cost us to get Jinyiwei to where we are today. How can you watch them make a comeback? Zhou Xiangrui said again.

Wang Ming hesitated for a moment and said, "The old man is tired." Go back and rest. You can take care of the rest. ”

When Zhou Xiangrui heard it, this was Wang Ming's acquiescence.

At that moment, he hugged his fists and said: "My lord is wise." ”

He secretly said in his heart: "Geng Rui, Geng Rui, while taking advantage of the chaos, Lao Tzu will take your life first." When the time comes, it will be said that it was a mistake, and if you want to blame, blame God for not opening your eyes. ”

Wang Ming turned around and left, and just after taking a few steps, he turned around and said, "You must ensure Geng Rui's safety!" ”

"Don't worry." Zhou Xiangrui whispered.

Only then did Wang Ming go straight down the city tower.

As soon as Wang Ming left, Zhou Xiangrui became the commander here.

He waved his hand and said, "Gather the archers, and look at my eyes in a moment." ”

With this, his own soldiers handed him the bow and arrow.

After many years of fighting, his archery skills can penetrate Yang in a hundred steps, and when he attacked Suzhou City, it was he who shot Zhang Shicheng's younger brother Zhang Shixin with an arrow.

At this distance, it is easy to shoot Geng Rui to death.

Killing Zhang Mu is just an excuse, what he really wants to kill is Geng Rui.

Zhou Xiangrui carefully looked at the carved arrow in his hand, selected one and put it on the bowstring.

At this time, about a few hundred archers hid behind the battlements and quietly hidden.

Zhou Xiangrui saw that the big thing had been decided, so he looked at Geng Rui under the city tower, and secretly thought: "It's a pity, Your Royal Highness the county lord is going to be widowed." ”
